This would require person-to-person interaction to be explained. A bad network card, failing hard drive, touchy ram, bad board controllers, or heat on your CPU, GPU, or network card This problem may also be caused by your router, rather than your ISP, being unable to sustain the necessary throughput. For example, people using Virgin Media may only be able to host games and are not able to join others' lobbies. Some ISPs will never have required throughput to each other. Open your task manager and close any programs with high CPU/RAM usage. Secondary Internal Application Traffic (Steam, f.lux, Rainmeter, antivirus, performance software). Close all non-essentials programs of this type and, ideally, get others in your home to do the same. Having other programs open that are particularly bandwidth heavy or make traffic requests may result in lag when playing against other people. Downloads, Youtube, applications such as Steam or ). If you maintain 60fps at lets say 20 buffer, then the issue would be someone's network, whereas if you do not maintain a steady 60fps, then the issue would be someone's computer.)
(A little trick to differentiate Network framedrops and computer issues would be to turn the buffer up as high as possible. For Dolphin 5.0-321 and Faster Melee 4.4 buffer is calculated by taking the ping (ms of delay) between you and your opponent and diving it by 8 (1 buffer for every 8 ms). These issues will be split into two lists a list of problems that can be solved easily and a list of problems considerably more difficult to solve, with all points being listed in order of complexity.

If you can run Melee or PM at a constant 60 frames per second offline (playing on your own, without being connected to anybody) but find yourself constantly dropping below 60fps while playing online, you will most likely be experiencing one of the following issues.
